Maybe it was a ghost ticket. A lot of them about. There was a thread on here some time back were a test had been done somewhere in Scotland three months previously. The car had been bought at auction with a valid ticket and i think brought down by transport to a southern buyer. Shortly after he got it a brake pipe failed. He posted photos of them on here, at the very least twelve months growth of rust on brake pipes. They just don't get that bad in three months. We even had the garage owner who did the ticket on here threatening people. Sending threatening Emails Etc.

Bought a Mk1 Focus a month ago for 220 quid to commute to work in, no MOT although the ad said it had but when I got there the bellend, sorry vendor, admitted it had run out. Anyway the point was I took it for a ticket and it failed on a page and a half of faults. Badly worn brakes, bulbs and an exhaust. And a rear wheel bearing that howled its head off and that was so worn it had machined the ABS sensor away. OK it was 54 weeks since its last MOT but it had done only 154 miles. Nipped round to the local DVSA office and they didn't want to know because the test was more than 3 months previous. Anyway, a days work and 300 quid later, an MOT and dare I say it a nice tidy little motor that drives very well.
